Dear ILI Team,

Over the last four years, ILI’s Board of Directors and leadership team have prayed, invested, and strategically planned so ILI can continue to accelerate the spread of the Gospel into the next generation.

Today, we’re pleased to publicly share some exciting leadership updates.

Starting March 1st, Daniel Drewski will serve as ILI’s Interim President. Daniel has led in various roles within ILI, developing strong relationships and earning the trust of board members, staff, and ILI’s global leaders.

As we celebrate Daniel's leadership together, we also invite you to praise God for the faithful 25-year ministry of ILI co-founders, Wes and Joy Griffin. From the beginning till now, over 400,000 leaders in more than 150 nations have been impacted for Christ through ILI.  

As part of ILI's strategic plans, Wes Griffin will begin a well-deserved sabbatical after decades of fruitful ministry. He will continue to advise Daniel as he transitions into the President role. We also want to extend our best wishes to Joy Griffin in her retirement from ILI. Her historic work with ILI will continue to have an impact for generations to come. We praise God for the countless lives transformed, and we are confident God will continue using Wes and Joy’s legacy to glorify His Name.

With the Great Commission in mind, we are excited to see ILI’s foundational scripture become a reality. “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.” - 2 Timothy 2:2

We humbly ask for your continued prayers for Wes and Joy, Daniel, and the entire ILI Team as we step into the exciting future God has for the ministry. Together, we will see the Gospel spread to the ends of the earth!

Steve Hill

Chair, ILI Board of Directors
